The History Of Pop Part 49 aka Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A very mixed bag, Now 49 - for every Destiny's Child making a (somewhat delayed) bow in a Now poll, there's a Dido. For every Mis-Teeq, a Marti Pellow. A number of strong candidates should make for an intriguing poll.

The last Now poll was the closest for AGES, with Gorillaz finally beating Shaggy and Nelly F by one vote - "Clint Eastwood" is the lowest-rated winner ever, which makes up slightly for it being the first one I don't actually like.

Those indie bands were arguably Pop Stars too - I'm not sure if being a Pop Star is a genre thing. Pete Doherty is more of a Pop Star than Richard X. Paris Hilton is more of a Pop Star than either.

Maybe the word I'm looking for is 'celebrity' - obv Mis-Teeq were not the most slebby of slebs, but they had that glitz about them which Felix'n'Simon, bless them, don't (which is why they get Pop Stars like Dizz, Kele le Roc, JC Chasez in!)
